While most Christian Counselors pride themselves on how many Scriptural passages they can recite and how many links they can make from the Bible to psychological disorders, the Christian-centric work of Grey Matters International, Inc.is grounded in one principle: truth. For us, the work is more about truth and transparency of Christ's message and working on the natural laws of accountability and decision making that evolves from that. If one honors God's natural laws of reaping and sowing around the decisions one makes, one is indeed living Scripture to its fullest. We prepare the brain to better maximize the spiritual realities of Christ's words. Contact email@example.com.
I have been a founding member of a woman's interfaith book group, The Daughters of Abraham for the past 8 years. Reading books from the three Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) has deepened my ability to be helpful to individuals who are from these and other faith traditions. I am deeply aware that one's faith can play a strong role in supporting people as they wrestle with life's challenges. Similarly, sometimes people need to discuss how their faith has felt shaken by their experiences but they are not comfortable discussing with a member of the clergy. I provide a safe and informed space for individuals, couples and families to discuss issues that involve their faith.
I do practice a spiritually based counseling that is rooted in a non-sectarian acceptance and belief of a power or life force that is greater than we are. I will help you to focus on accessing the inner power that connects you to the greater spiritual self. You will harness your natural energy within and the power of prayer and positive projection.

Design of photonic bandgap fibers by topology optimization
JOSA B, Vol. 27, Issue 1, pp. 51-58 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (852 KB)
A method based on topology optimization is presented to design the cross section of hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers for minimizing energy loss by material absorption. The optical problem is modeled by the time-harmonic wave equation and solved with the finite element program Comsol Multiphysics. The optimization is based on continuous material interpolation functions between the refractive indices and is carried out by the method of moving asymptotes. An example illustrates the performance of the method where air and silica are redistributed around the core so that the overlap between the magnetic field distribution and the lossy silica material is reduced and the energy flow is increased 375% in the core. Simplified designs inspired from optimized geometry are presented, which will be easier to fabricate. The energy flow is increased up to almost 300% for these cases.

Code snippets allow you to quickly insert code templates into your query window to perform common TSQL tasks. By using a keyword short cut you can invoke the code snippet window and select the desired code snippet. This will copy the pre-defined code template to your query with placeholders which clearly indicates the locations where you need to make changes.
Inserting a code snippet
You can activate the code snippet window by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+K followed by CTRL+X. Alternatively, you can select the Insert Snippet.. menu item from the Edit >> IntelliSense menu.
Code snippets are organized by categories. Select a category to see the available code snippets under that category. For this example, let us select "Function".
Let us select "Create Inline Table Function" and SSMS will insert the code required to create a Table Valued Function to your query window at the current cursor position.
After inserting the function template, SSMS will also highlight the placeholders that need to be modified. This will help you to identify the places you need to make changes.
Creating your own code snippet
SSMS comes with some pre-defined code snippets. It is quite easy to add your own code snippets to SSMS and speed up developing commonly used TSQL code. To do this, you need to create a .snippet file containing your code and register it with the Code Snippet Manager. A .snippet file is an XML file that follows a pre-defined schema.
Let us create a TSQL code snippet to generate the basic code for a simple TRY-CATCH block. Here is the code that we will include in the new code snippet.
BEGIN TRY -- Your code here END TRY BEGIN CATCH -- Your error handling here ;THROW END CATCH
Here is the code snippet file created for inserting the above code fragment.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet"> <CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0"> <Header> <SnippetTypes> <SnippetType>Expansion</SnippetType> </SnippetTypes> <Title>try-catch</Title> <Author>jacob</Author> <Description> </Description> <HelpUrl> </HelpUrl> <Shortcut> </Shortcut> </Header> <Snippet> <Code Language="sql"><![CDATA[ BEGIN TRY -- Your code here END TRY BEGIN CATCH -- Your error handling here ;THROW END CATCH ]]> </Code> </Snippet> </CodeSnippet> </CodeSnippets>
There are several tools available that will allow you to create code snippets easily. One such tool is Snippet Designer available at codeplex. This allows you to create code snippets right within visual studio.
Registering a code snippet
After creating a code snippet file, you need to register it with SSMS. This can be done using the "Code Snippet Manager". Launch the "Code Snippet Manager" from the "Tools" menu.
This will open the code snippet manager window.
The Code Snippet Manager shows all the code snippets registered with SSMS. You can use the Add and Remove buttons to register new code snippets or remove the code snippets already registered.
Let us register the code snippet we created in the previous step. Click on the Add button and select the folder where you have put your code snippet files. After selecting the code snippet folder, all the code snippets available within the selected folder will show up on the Code Snippet Manager.
Testing the newly added code snippet
It is time for us to test the code snippet we just created and registered. Switch back to SSMS query window and press CTRL+K, CTRL+X and it will open the code snippet prompt as given below.
Select the code snippet "try-catch" and it will insert the TSQL code we placed within the snippet file at the current cursor position within the SSMS query window.
The code given above is very basic and used for the demonstration purpose only. You might end up creating more complex code snippets in most real world scenarios. The Snippet Designer tool mentioned earlier is quite capable of creating code snippets for Visual Studio as well as SSMS.
Tags: TSQL, SSMS, SQLSERVER, BRH, #TSQL, DENALI, SQL11, #SQL Server,
I can tell right away that I will be using this a lot! This has made it's way into my favourite features of Denali. Thank-you Jacob, for a wonderfully written introduction to snippets.

Robust estimators reduce the influence of outliers in repeat sales price changes that are due to data entry errors, quality changes, or non-market transactions. In addition to comparing conventional and robust indexes, we also use simulated data, where the correct index is known, to show that robust methods control for the impacts of contaminated data. Finally, we demonstrate that robust methods reduce the magnitude and volatility of index revisions.

I can see your point. But, if we are to believe the OP, she displayed her weapon in a manner which might cause the bicyclist to soil his pants... For me, that's going to take you pointing it at me and doing so in a threatening manner. Maybe not for this hood ape.
But then you go on to say that female responses to a big black man yelling at you and approaching your car might be different. Fine, if you're a 5'9" female.... But a 5'9" MP? of any gender? c'mon...
If she hasn't been trained to deal with something like this; heck, if she hasn't had to deal with something like this under the color of authority as an MP... then MP must mean something different than I expect it to... A MP has to deal with trained killers all the time... everyone of our soldiers is, after all, trained to kill (to a greater or lesser degree, dependent on branch I suppose) in everything from marksmanship to CQB. If MPs can't stop them, who can?
So this doesn't even come as close to a Leigh Anne Touhy... "If you so much as set foot downtown, you will be sorry. I'm in a prayer group with the D.A., I'm a member of the NRA and I'm always packing." moment, as it would if the OP wasn't a MP. And the OP as a MP should be able to fend off 2 men with sticks without resorting to her sidearm.
So why is she afraid for her life in a locked car, in reverse and moving with a clear path behind? Big burly goon gonna rip the door from it's hinges with his "Jaws of Life" forearms? or at the very worst, break the plastic/potmetal handle off (which I will grant might not occur to her in the fear of the moment).
Even you, in an unarmed confrontation in the park, had more "hair" than that, IIRC?
So, the feminine perspective of this just doesn't wash... If she's a MP she's a trained corraller of trained killers, not some Leigh Anne whiffit of a 5' blond walkin' in the hood.
OTOH, you're right, we weren't there...
But, the one time I exposed my weapon (in it's holster, on my side) some 30 years ago, I didn't go yuck it up with my fellow CCers, or training partners, or even talk about it much for years... I don't think anybody soiled their pants over that one either.. but I was left alone following the incident, and I still had to deal with them or their counterparts every day in nearly face to face adversarial situations for another few months at minimum. And logically, as was pointed out here on DC, I also was not in fear (at the moment) of death or great bodily harm, even though it was indirectly threatened.
As to the disparity of force... If she's a pedestrian against this goon, you bet! But where, in reality, is the disparity of force? A 2 ton car with a lady driving it. Or a bike with a 250 lb goon astride it? A pedal bike fer cripe's sake... C'mon... I offered to let Sticks try to grab my door handle while I'm reversing, I even gave him a weapon to shoot at me while I didi... I still bet he wouldn't get me shot or the door open...
But again, in the fear of the moment... these things did not occur to her... And, we weren't there. So, she was justified (though maybe not legally so), and there were some things she should consider next time if she chooses to.

It could be worse!
I suppose
I cant really disagree with you Oak, or answer those questions.
What I can tell you is that even backing up, in a fully enclosed and locked vehicle....if I felt the threat that the OP described, I'd be scared well until I got home and the adreneline seeped out of me. Gun drawn or not. No one knows the outcome of a situation until it is over.
In all these scenarios, I'd venture to guess that most....male and female....posters are scared. Trained or not. It's how you perform WHEN you're scared that matters.
As I said earlier, I think your statement that the episode would have ended the same, gun drawn or not, was accurate. Based on her interpretation of the aggressor, I'm just not going to criticize drawing the firearm. I wasnt there. For me, as a woman, I'd say the drawn gun was extra insurance, playing it on the safe side. Would the law look at it that way? No guarantees.

Gee, I hope Brunette is enjoying her popcorn while we go bandying about her close encounter of the goon kind!
It could be worse!
I suppose
I doubt the law is going to look at it that way. In my mind's eye, I'm not going to draw the gun unless I'm going to use it. From the description given in this thread, I'm under the impression that the drawn gun is used as a scare tactic and this is a practice I do not agree with nor do I think is a legal one. If the OP is in such grave danger so as to necessitate drawing her weapon, then why wasn't the same said danger to the degree that necessitated her firing her weapon? I think that this is an important discrepancy that needs to be noted and addressed. We've had major serious discussions about warning shots and without getting into all of that, I think a lot of people agree that guns aren't intended to be used as tools of intimidation. Now is it possible that someone can attack me and after I draw my gun in retaliation that the BG withdraws from his attack, putting me in a position where I no longer need to shoot? Sure it is but this is not what happened in this scenario from the way it has been reported thus far.
AH! I see a takeaway lesson here. Attention all bad guys, don't frighten people with guns as you may get shot.
I dont see where she drew to intimidate. My interpretation was that the gun was drawn and ready to fire if it became necessary. That is what I mean by extra insurance. A gun does no good in its holster when you need it fast.
Would she have shot if necessary, I can only guess. It would be my intention to do so.
I'm not a supporter of the 'if I clear leather, I'm shooting' school of thought. If I draw my firearm, it will be because I am in fear for my life or bodily harm. If I dont shoot it will be because the threat ended.
Her threat ended when she left him behind and he didnt follow. As Oakchas said, the encounter probably would have ended the same way with or without gun. But if she felt threatened enough to draw....so be it.
My thought has been that she didnt know all the cards the aggressor had to play. He approached yelling at her and reaching for a car door handle. "Appearing unarmed" does not mean "unarmed." He approached, she took action by reversing and drawing....if HE then escalated and drew...then she was PROactive and had the advantage, rather than being REactive.
Question: what's a more likely way to approach a car you want to carjack and not have it drive off immediately?
a) ride up on your bike getting the driver's attention?
b) ride up on your bike pointing a gun at the driver?
Like I said, as a woman, I'm not giving up my advantages. My extra insurance is having my weapon prepared if he makes a new move.
Fortune favors the bold.
Freedom doesn't mean safe, it means free.
The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)
No one is saying she shouldn't have had her weapon ready. Again, having the weapon handy = prudent decision. Pointing it at the man while yelling at him = not necesssary. Just drive away. No where does she even claim he was reaching for the (locked) door. She said he was approaching the vehicle in a way she interpreted as aggressive. How was he able to maneuver or ride his bike while reaching out for the handle? No where did I read that he even touched her vehicle.
Please look at the title of this board. DefensiveCarry. Not Preemptive or Proactive Carry. The law doesn't give me the luxury of using what someone MAY have or MAY do as an option to introduce lethal force. By pointing the gun, she introduced lethal force into what may have been an entirely innocent interaction - "Hey, you, your gas cap is not secured..."
Of course she doesn't hear anything after "Hey, you...." as she sees it is a large [black] male and she begins shouting, rolling up her window (in 40-degree weather), reversing, drawing, and pointing her weapon at him. Again - just a few of the reasons I think this scenario is fabricated. Way too much action between "Hey, you..." and leaving the area for one pair of hands. Plus, she apparently had time to also evaluate his movements and intent while performing all these functions flawlessly.
Just my opinion, but I do know the law doesn't allow me to be proactive in defending myself.
Perhaps we are having a disagreement as to what "drawing" means. I don't have a problem with the OP taking her gun out of her holster and having it read to go if need be, etc. She can draw her weapon and not show it to the attacker (if that's what he was...we don't really even know this was an attack). By showing her gun to the guy on the bike and pointing it at him is brandishing (to my understanding) and this can be an issue that can troublesome for the OP. Why put yourself in that position and leave yourself open to the scrutiny of a court if this were to go to trial? I want to keep as many variables outside of the realm of court interpretation as I can, etc.
From OP:"He advanced aggressively headed for the door handle"
Only the OP can interpret that, we werent there. Since you dont even believe it happened, I can see how you might disregard her statement and her perception. I can easily visualize a true imminent threat from that statement so it is at least possible.
She also never said she pointed the gun at him. She drew it and he saw it. (Maybe she did point it, be she didnt say) She did yell at him. So would I. An innocent person would back off at shouting.
You might be right tho. Instead of proactively reversing, she should have just sat there until he actually was yanking on the door handle. Or pulling out a weapon.
Funny, I thought situational awareness was ALL about being proactive.
Fortune favors the bold.
Freedom doesn't mean safe, it means free.
The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)
Readers's Digest version: I will draw and aim at an attacker if I believe lethal force is imminent. I will shoot if they continue the attack. I will lower weapon and not shoot if that threat ends.
I will have to prove to police and possibly a jury that I perceived the lethal threat.
I also understand the distinction between having weapon 'ready' and not aimed and aimed. From OP's post, I'm not sure which it was, but the man approaching apparently saw it.
Fortune favors the bold.

9MM, as you pointed out, there is a difference between how a woman and a man react to a given situation. You are destroying all the years of woman's lib by stating that one. So, should there be remedial training for females because they are some how different? But she passed the US Military requirements for fitness, and declared combat ready, and is a (trained?) MP.
So now I am supposed to make allowances for her actions because she is a female? What a double standard.
Sorry, I don't make allowances for this. You either can handle or you cant.
I'm sure somemore sensitive type Knights will charge in here to defend her actions.
But like I said, and, you just admitted, nothing but drama.

Dan Glickman donates papers to Wichita State
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
Former U.S. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman, who also represented the 4th Congressional District for 18 years as a Democrat from Wichita, has donated his professional papers to the Special Collections division of University Libraries at Wichita State University.
Dozens of boxes from Glickman contain correspondence, legislative bills and proposed bills, news clippings, press releases, photos, official documents and more. Among some of the personal mementos with historical value are about nine scrapbooks created by his mother, Gladys, that follow press coverage of Glickman from the mid-1970s until her death in late 1999.

The struggle for LGBT rights and the struggle for reproductive rights are inseparable—and we have to change the role religion is playing.
St. Francis was a non-violent reformer who gave up inherited riches to live, work with, and advocate for the poor. With the new Pope, I am hoping that there is something in a name.
A woman with a pregnancy as the result of rape is facing one of the most difficult and confusing situations imaginable. Indeed, the larger problem remains, which is that Rep. Akin and his conservative allies in Congress and state legislatures stand by their desire to limit the health care options a pregnant woman has available to her.
The Obama Administration is right to require insurance companies to cover contraception for public employees. The bishops are wrong to seek to use the government to limit the decision-making power of American women. And they are surely wrong to call what they are trying to do freedom.

Correctional Service Officers
Unit Group 6462
Skill Type: Sales and Service Occupations
Table of contents
Type of work
Correctional service officers guard prisoners and detainees and maintain order in correctional institutions and other places of detention.
For the full and official description of this occupation according to the National Occupational Classification, visit the NOC site.
Examples of Occupational Titles
- correctional facility guard
- correctional service officer
- detention attendant
- prison guard
- supervisor, correctional officers
Job prospects in this occupation are good.
(Update: March 2013)
Despite some fluctuations, the number of correctional service officers has increased significantly over the last few years. This rise can be explained primarily by changes in the number of incarcerated individuals. Because the number of people in prison is expected to increase further in the coming years, we anticipate that the number of correctional service officers will increase sharptly.
Responsibility for penal and correctional matters is shared between the governments of Canada and Quebec. Federal penitentiaries house inmates serving sentences of two years or longer, while provincial detention facilities (also known as prisons) are for those serving sentences of less than two years (two years minus a day).
Sources of employment
Job openings will come primarily from employment increase, but also from positions vacated by retiring correctional services officers. The number of retiring workers is expected to be fairly high, as these officers generally retire earlier than the average worker. The proportion of such officers in the 55 and over age group is significantly lower than in all occupations (9.5% versus 15%, according to 2006 Census data). In fact, their pension plans grant full pensions with fewer than the 35 years of service required by the vast majority of other pension plans.
Other openings will be added as a result of positions vacated by correctional officers leaving the occupation. A certain amount of turnover has been observed as a result of working conditions that can be stressful and restrictive: interaction with inmates, security measures, use of firearms and tear gas, shift work, work on weekends, on call, etc.
Labour pool
These openings will be accessible to people who meet the requirements of the hiring conditions of the federal and provincial public administrations. Educational requirements are increasingly important when it comes to accessing this occupation. Proof of this can be found in the proportion of officers who hold post-secondary diplomas, which has risen from 47% in 1991 to 75% in 2006. Although the two public administrations have somewhat different conditions for admission to exams (see the Training section), the certificate of college studies (AEC) in correctional intervention is the training course best tailored to access the occupation, according to data from the Department of Education, Recreation and Sport's Relance study. A number of openings will also be accessible to holders of diplomas of college studies (DECs) in correctional intervention, police techniques and special education. Again according to Relance, the labour market situation for delinquency intervention AEC holders is usually better than that of the average AEC graduate in terms of pay and percentage of employed and unemployed graduates but is equivalent with respect to finding a job in the field of study. This situation has deteriorated somewhat in 2011, probably due to the sharp rise in the number of graduates (over 50%).
Very few openings will be staffed by experienced, unemployed correctional services officers, because the unemployment rate of these officers is extremely low. According to census data, the occupation is not very accessible to immigrants, as they make up less than 5% of the occupation as of the most recent census, as compared to 12% for all occupations.
According to Census data, 96% of correctional services officers were working in public administration in 2006. Over 53% worked in provincial correctional institutions, while 42% were employed in federal correctional services.
Changes in employment in this occupation depend on demand for prison services and on government policy.
Demand for incarceration services
Demand for incarceration services is directly related to the number of inmate admissions and the duration of their sentences.
According to correctional data from Sécurité publique Québec, the number of inmate admissions in Quebec prisons dropped by nearly 25% between the late 1990s and early 2000s, increasing slightly thereafter. However, sentence duration has increased because inmates are being granted fewer temporary absences. The number of persons accused is rising significantly in recent years, making at the same time increase the population of these institutions The overall number of prisoners rose by 50% between 1999-2000 and 2011-2012. However, the rise in the number of defendant detentions (+95%) was much higher than the increase in the number of convicted offenders (+25%).
According to Statistics Canada data, the number of people in federal establishments in Quebec rose sharply until the mid-1990s, then declined equally sharply until the middle of the first decade of the 2000s, stabilize until 2009 and start up thereafter.
Government policy
For a number of years, the Quebec correctional system has been focusing on the social reintegration of convicts. Probation and inmate monitoring outside of detention centres is therefore a major priority that provides more jobs for probation and parole officers (see 4155) than for correctional services officers. This trend has continued throughout the years and, in a context of tight budgets, led to the closure of a number of detention centres in the late 1990s. In the wake of dramatic events at the turn of the millennium, public opinion hardened against early parole. Although Quebec's correctional system is less focused on social reintegration, recent legislation is aimed at tightening restrictions on convicts.
At the federal level, recently adopted government measures call for more severe penalties and are therefore expected to increase the prison population. For example, the enactment of a law raised the minimum amount of time served before a non-violent offender can apply for parole from one-sixth to one-third of the sentence. More recently, another bill was adopted that includes mandatory minimum sentences for certain crimes. These two bills could reverse the past trend and result in better employment prospects for workers in this occupation rather than for probation and parole officers. This having been said, it will take a few years before the effect of these bills can be quantified.
Given all these factors, we anticipate that the number of correctional services officers will increase sharptly in the coming years.
Employment characteristics
According to census data, women held 33% of the jobs in this occupation in 2006, a proportion that has risen slightly since 1991 (17%).
Education and Training
To gain access to the occupation, candidates normally have to take part in a call for applications, both at the provincial and federal levels. While diplomas (DECs and AECs) in delinquency, prison, and correctional intervention or specialized correctional techniques are assets, they are not required conditions of admission for Sécurité publique du Québec and Correctional Service of Canada exams.
To be eligible to take the Sécurité publique du Québec written exams, candidates are required to have a secondary school diploma (DES) and have completed two years of post-secondary education in special education, police technology or a program in one of the helping disciplines. Experience may sometimes compensate for lack of education. Following the process, the selected candidates receive training at theÉcole nationale de police du Québec before taking up their duties.
Candidates for Correctional Service of Canada exams must meet the educational and experience criteria set out in the call for applications. The minimum requirement is always a secondary school diploma (DES); first-aid, CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) usage certification are sometimes required. Post-secondary training in a field related to the position is an asset.
The Correctional Service of Canada also provides initial corrections officer training, whose duration is four to five months. Further details are available on the following Correctional Service Web page.

Important Considerations
The number of correctional services officers is expected to rise sharptly in the coming years.
Recruitment is normally done by means of calls for applications for exams and interviews. Diplomas of college studies (DECs and AECs) in delinquency, prison, and correctional intervention, specialized correctional techniques or police technology are not required but may constitute assets by increasing the odds of promotion within the occupation.

Hi all, Does anybody know of a good anti-mouse IL6 for immunostaining. I have both frozen and FFPE samples but would prefer to use the paraffins. I've had good luck with Pharmingen, but their catalog doesn't say anything about immunostaining for that particular antibody (clone MP5-20F3). If anyone knows of one you have actually USED to stain with please let me know. Thanks! Marcia

Fort Napoléon : Michelin's recommendations
Built in the mid-19C for defensive purposes, the fort wound up as a jail for political prisoners in the Second World War. It dominates the north of the town, and draws tourists who come to stroll in its botanical garden (with circuit walk), visit the museum of arts and popular traditions (in the old barracks) and enjoy the beautiful view of the island, a more than adequate reward for the challenging climb required.

Extreme sailing series: Match 1 Singapore
They are back, better then ever, 12 boats full of great sailors and some super stars: The British Ben Ainsley, the French Franck Cammas and the Kiwi Dean Barker among several Olympic Gold medalists will give an idea of the really top sailing level:
The races started and are going on in Singapore. By now the standing after 12 races are:
First the Swiss from Alinghi followed by Dean Barker and Emirates team NZ then Realstone another Swiss boat, Ben Ainsley and the British from JP Morgan team, and in 5th Franck Cammas and the French from Groupama. Alinghi leads with a comfortable advantage but the the 4 that follow are really very close in points.
If you want to follow one from there start looking after minute 39. That's were the interesting stuff is

Many new attractions planned for Margaretville Cauliflower Festival
Margaretville — The Seventh Annual Margaretville Cauliflower Festival, to be held in the Margaretville Village Park on Saturday, Sept. 26, will feature two new attractions: Catskill Forest and Wood Products exhibits and demonstrations; and a tent full of farm-related fun for youngsters.
The festival, sponsored by the Central Catskills Chamber of Commerce, is free and will be held rain or shine from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entertainment, art, cooking demonstrations, history exhibits and much more will also be featured.
Celebrating the agricultural heritage of the region, the event this year will highlight the connection between farm and forest with displays and exhibitions coordinated by the Catskill Forest Association and supported by the Watershed Agricultural Council's Forestry Program.
Festival goers will enjoy demonstrations of horse logging, timber milling, firewood processing, apple cider making and chain saw carving.
Fine craftsmen will exhibit their artisanship. They include Gary Mead of Fruitful Furnishings, who will show functional art pieces including a harvest table with a cidermill press base, a hollow hemlock tree pantry and unusual wood dining and coffee tables whose designs utilize and emphasize their unique grains and curves. Custom wood furniture and accessories by Manifold Design, wood turnings by American Beauty Art, and custom signs, furniture and carving by Harnett Designs will also be featured.
Wood-heat dealers and forestry equipment retailers will be on site. Several organizations and agencies concerned with the forest environment will attend with information ranging from invasive insects to deer management, agro-forestry products to hiking, trapping and hunting.
The 2009 Cauliflower Festival will introduce children to the wonders of farm life with activities directed by Abby Wilson of Maple Shade Farm in Delhi.
There will be baby pigs and turkeys, a nutrition display and game, and a "What's on Your Plate" craft activity. In the Farm to Table play area, kids will get to collect eggs and produce, ring up purchases at a farm market, and prepare and serve fresh vegetables and homemade bread for dinner!
One lucky family will win a free pass to the Wilsons' 200-acre farm, where you can pick your own pumpkin, take a hayride, and learn about farm animals in the 19th-century barn. Each weekend through November 1, a different area farmer is on hand to share their farm story and give visitors local food samples.

Style Timing with InsidersHeather S KnewtsonMichigan Technological University Richard W. SiasUniversity of Arizona - Department of Finance David A. WhidbeeWashington State University - Department of Finance, Insurance and Real Estate November 19, 2009 Abstract: Aggregate demand by insiders predicts time-series variation in the value premium — between 1978 and 2004, a one standard deviation increase in aggregate insider demand in the previous six months forecasts a 53 basis point decline (6.54% annualized) in the expected value premium in the month following publication of the insider trading data. Further tests suggest that insider trading forecasts the value premium because insiders trade against systematic investor sentiment-induced mispricing and growth stocks are more sensitive to changes in sentiment than value stocks, i.e., insiders sell (buy) when markets, and growth stocks especially, are overvalued (undervalued). As a result, our analysis suggests that investors can use signals from aggregate insider behavior to adjust style tilts and exploit sentiment-induced mispricing.

Inside job
By Thomas R. Temin

Thomas R. Temin
Useful as information technology is, it can be ugly, and not only in the abstract sense. PCs, monitors, printers'from a design standpoint, 99 percent of them are banal at best and downright ugly at worst, especially when combined with unsightly wiring and cabling.
That can be bad in a country that's as casual about its architectural heritage as the United States often is. Why, I just read speculation that Yankee Stadium'in some ways America's Colosseum'might be torn down when a new baseball park is built nearby within a few years.
Insertion of technology into historic buildings can make for some awkward appearances and kludgy IT setups. The interior of the Eisenhower (formerly the 'Old') Executive Office Building next to the White House, for instance, bristles with wiring bundles added over the decades to the edges of walls and ceilings, often popping out through this molding and disappearing into that one.
In years past, building occupants would simply hide wiring by dropping a false ceiling that would do justice to a suburban dentist's office. Or by installing Sheetrock partitions. Or metal poles. More recently, the government has awakened to the value of maintaining architectural integrity even as it retrofits old and historically significant buildings. It's a costlier and more painstaking process, but it doesn't ruin uplifting classic interiors.
With thought and planning, buildings assumed to be functionally obsolete can, in fact, accept new technology without bringing in a wrecking ball or draping them in dreary false facades.
Does this matter? That depends on your view of workspace and the relationships among people, their surroundings and technology.
I believe an environment in which history and significance are preserved, and in which management has invested wisely, yields better morale and productivity. Besides, government buildings, new or old, belong to the citizens, and the government has an obligation to take care of them properly even as it gives workers the latest technological tools.

Unfortunately that is just the team we have at the moment.
Filled with average to poor players. Glen fooking Johnson is Englands best right back???!! Obviously i got hyped once the tournament started but most of us new we were **** this year. Hopefully they show some balls from.here out and start bringing the younger players through as a team. Gerrard needs to go. Baines out Luke Shaw in. No moe Lampard on the bench. Hell maybe even Rooney needs to go. Barkley, Wilshire, Sterling, Shaw, Oxlaide-Chamberlain can have a very bright future if they are brought through right |
Iron lungs
The problem with England is it's individual players cannot play together as a team. On paper, they're one of the best teams in the world. But England managers are more concerned with fielding the better known players rather than experimenting with who works well together.
Not just that but the players we produce nowadays are a different breed. They're more like Spanish/Italian players with flair and quick passing, which I think is discouraged when you put an England shirt on. If a player like Rooney or Lampard cannot play in their natural position, don't force them into another for the sake of having them on the pitch. We had 60% possession against Uruguay, we just can't find an end product. |

I'd hardly call the italian performance bad, they just got beat by a team with a class A player in Pirlo, the moment that player was shut out the game by man marking from the Ricans, that was it, Italy reverted back to what they are, a class B team, just like England.

What was Roy and the management with far more resources playing at? I do think he is a little unlucky that this defence is the worse in decades.. both uruguay goals and the ballotelli goal were gifts.. But if that's the case.. give them more protection |

The Hartley 10 is a durable, simple, stable dinghy that is well suited for training or recreational use. With a large cockpit big enough for two, a simple sail plan and high boom, the Hartley 10 offers a lot for a small boat. Aluminum blades, tough rotomolded construction, and optional rowing package make it a versitile boat that will last.The ability to mount a small engine makes it a great option for a large boat tender.
Please call 401-237-6117 or e-mail us for fleet pricing.
